For today's post I bring you the lentil and brown rice burger! I've made these almost in the form of falafels, but they're a much different take on them. These are crispy, filling, healthy, and just plain ol' delicious. If you like how that sounds, keep on reading!

For this recipe you will need: (makes 8-10 burgers)

1 cup of lentils

2 carrots, grated

1 cup of brown rice (or whatever grain you have on hand)

1 shallot, finely sliced

1 tsp of chili flakes

Pinch of salt

1 tsp of paprika

1 tsp of cumin

1-2 tsps of olive oil

To start, preheat your oven to 375 degrees. You can make these either by hand or in a food processor. If you make them by hand you'll need to mash the lentils pretty well, then add in all of the ingredients. If you make them with the help of a food processor, just throw everything in and whiz it up.

Once the ingredients have been combined well, and it becomes sticky, you'll want to start making the burgers. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and oil it lightly so the burgers don't burn. Bake the burgers for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through. Once out of the oven serve with a bun or do like me and enjoy them with hummus, pita, baby spinach and some cherry tomatoes. This is a great meal that is quite filling as well. It's vegan, gluten free, and will make you feel good once you're finished. Bon appetit!
